Could Ava DuVernay become Marvel's First Black and First Female Director?

According to TheWrap, Marvel is eyeing Selma director Ava DuVernay to direct a "diverse" superhero movie. Marvel is interested in the award winning filmmaker taking the lead on either “Black Panther,” which features a black superhero or “Captain Marvel," which features a female superhero. If selected, DuVernay would become Marvel's first black and first female director.

In February, HitFix asked DuVernay what she would do if Marvel came calling. Check out the clip below to see what she had to say.
